Thanks for the advice

The only think i had to do was re-configure outlook express to my email address.
Try plugging in the modem and see what happens-you may find its all up and running waiting for you.

Then when we have this up and running we have to figure out how to get the laptop and the other one upstairs on broadband too

Hi Tom, Are you with Wanadoo too? The modem and filters and setup cd came yesterday morning but we are still waiting for them to sort the line out and send us an email with our new password and email address so we can't do anything until we get that email
